Elsie N. (Baldwin) Dill passed away Feb. 21, 2014 after a brief illness. She was 83 years of age.

Elsie was born in Havre de Grace, Md. on Jan. 6, 1931. While attending Havre de Grace High, she was very active in sports and an outstanding basketball player. She later took up bowling and did quite well in league play.

As a result of her typewriting skills she was hired in the Fire Control Branch of the Ordinance School at Aberdeen Proving Ground Maryland. She was assigned the first electric typewriter in the branch. While at the Proving Ground she met a sergeant by the name of Thomas Dill from Groveport, Ohio. After his discharge, they were married and settled in Havre de Grace. Tom later transferred to Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia and they relocated to Cinnaminson in 1960.

She devoted the next 20 years to raising her four sons, which from all accounts was no easy task. After spending her day doing mountains of laundry and keeping the house spotless, she was still able to please five discriminating palates at supper time.

Elsie is survived by her husband of 61 years; her sons, Collin of Burlington, Brian of Cinnaminson, Frank of Mount Laurel, and Steven of Cinnaminson; her grandchildren, Ian of Cinnaminson, and Callan of Burlington; along with numerous nieces and nephews; a sister, Rose Williams of Rising Sun, Md.; and a brother, John Baldwin of Northport, N.Y.

In lieu of flowers, family request donations in Elsie's name to the Palmyra Ambulance Association, P.O. Box 213, Palmyra, N.J. 08065.
